Small Violet Fire Picture

Small Violet Fire Picture

Instead of creating a picture then framing it, I found this frame and created the picture on it. I started by wrapping purple yarn around the frame. I then created a diagonal warp and weft. I did this on the diagonal to create the feeling of upward movement. It was akin to darning a hole.

Onto the woven background I sewed the flames created by free-form crochet. I deliberately created a weaving in and out effect to suggest movement. I added some sparkle in the form of tinsel, sequins, lurex yarn and a twisted sparkly beaded trim.

I then loosely wrapped a fluffy yarn around the frame to soften it and add to the flame effect.
